T-Mobile today announced that HD Voice is now available on its network
nationwide, dramatically improving in-call voice quality for customers
with capable smartphones. Customers will hear a more true-to-life voice
quality that’s fuller and more natural-sounding with significantly
reduced background noise from street traffic, wind and crowd noise. To
experience HD Voice, both parties on the call must use capable T-Mobile
4G smartphones such as the HTC One™ S, Nokia Astound and
Samsung Galaxy S® III on T-Mobile’s HD Voice-enabled
nationwide network. T-Mobile is the first U.S. wireless provider to
launch HD Voice nationwide.

“T-Mobile is enriching the customer experience on its network with our
nationwide launch of HD Voice. In addition, multiple third-party tests
have shown that the experience on T-Mobile’s nationwide 4G network
rivals major competitors’ LTE networks,” said Neville Ray, chief
technology officer, T-Mobile USA. “This year, we’re stepping on the gas
again. We are making continued coverage improvements and launching an
advanced LTE network that will reach 100 million people by mid-year and
200 million people by end of year.”

4G Network Advancements

T-Mobile’s $4 billion plan to advance its competitive 4G network
continues, improving signal strength and in-building coverage and
re-tuning its airwaves to launch 4G service in an additional frequency,
1900 MHz, providing a 4G experience to a broader range of consumer
devices, including the iPhone. Today T-Mobile is adding new metro areas,
including Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego and Virginia Beach, Va. These
network enhancements now reach 126 million people in 46 metro areas
including major cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas,
Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia,
Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C. T-Mobile’s

million people.
